Well, Ron's suggestion will work, but it seems a little inelegant (in
particular, if you forget to remove the 'core' file later, it will
prevent future programs from dumping core).

A slightly more elegant solution is to add a signal handler for the
signal you're getting (SIGSEG, I think?) which just causes the process
to exit.  Like this:

/* at the beginning of main() */

	extern	int	segflt();

	signal(SIGSEG, segflt);

		.
		.
		.

segflt()
{
	exit(1);
}
